Navigating the immigration application system can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! Here’s a quick 6-step guide to help you file smoothly:
Step 1: Visit the FTI TTP website: https://ftittp.mha.gov.in/fti/.
Step 2: Choose your service and complete the form:
Whether you need immigration clearance or citizenship, pick the service you need. Pay attention to your passport type—select ECNR (Emigration Check Not Required) instead of ECR for your passport type and to avoid extra formalities!
Step 3: For biometric verification, you’ll have two options:
Option A: If you’re flying through Delhi Airport, select the ICP (Immigration Check Post) for a quick and smooth process.
Option B: Not flying through Delhi? Choose the nearest FRRO (Foreigners Regional Registration Office). Offices are in cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru, etc.
Step 4: Scan your documents clearly and ensure they meet the requirements listed on the site. Blurry uploads could delay your application!
Step 5: Before submitting, review all your details and uploaded documents carefully to avoid mistakes.
Step 6: Submit your application and track it:
Once done, download the receipt or note your reference number. Use the “Track Application” feature on the portal to monitor your status.
💡 Quick Tip: Keep all your original documents organized and ready for verification when visiting the ICP or FRRO.
